This is a man-sized framework of 24 small, highly advanced, water resistojets. The entire thrust potential of the unit is 60 seconds of 40kg of thrust. It is powered by internal batteries and is refueled by adding 2.5 liters of water. It is controlled by a control box attached by a meter long cable or by a joystick control on a rigid arm which extends under the left armpit and swings out of the way when not in use.
Advanced versions of the maneuver pack have microprocessor control of course and thrust and can maintain a heading with less than 2% deviation. Care should be taken to insure the jet orifices do not become plugged as explosion may occur due to excessive pressure. The user should inspect the pack before each use and semi-annual maintenance is required.
This the earlier version of the thruster pack.
